Dark Elves are an elven race located in the southwestern part of the map (Kingdoms of Iberus). The area they live is mountainous in the north and a bit on the south as well, but most of it is moderate climate. Dark Elves are about the height of the human races and have a similar build as well. There skin is dark, ranging from dark blue to black. Their hair is black in color while their eye color is red. This stems from a curse that was placed on them near the beginning of history when banished from the isle the High Elves lived.
The Dark Elves have a relatively decentralized political system. Each of the major towns have a council system that rules the town and the area around them. Political intrigue is common due to the relatively newness of their kingdoms, and its not uncommon for borders to shift every few weeks on the outskirts of the kingdoms. The temples in the cities tend to have major influence on the politics of the area and are given special privileges.
The constant shifts of borders among the city-states as well as the influence of the temples have created a culture of warriors that stress spiritualism and mysticism. While this influence is felt strongest in the militaries of the towns, civilians also pick up on the spirituality. Piety is greatly admired among the Dark Elves, though its not uncommon that the religious fervor breeds a dislike of the other races that do not hold such high esteem for religion.

+5 Intelligence
+5 Long Blade
